The Body Trust® Podcast

16. The Audacity and Caucasity of MAHA


Listen Later

In this episode of the Body Trust Podcast, hosts Hilary, Sirius, and Dana dive into the second part of their discussion on RFK Jr.'s controversial 'MAHA' initiatives. They explore the mental health aspects of Junior's proposed camps, which aim to wean people off ADHD, depression, and antipsychotic medications through organic food and reducing screen time. The hosts critique Junior's vision as dangerous, ableist, and reflective of a problematic view of health, drawing parallels to eugenic ideologies. They highlight Junior's infuriating comments on rearing Black children on wellness farms and draw connections to historical oppression and contemporary conspiracy theories. The episode emphasizes the harmful potential of MAHA's ideology and stresses the need for a more inclusive, scientifically-rooted approach to healthcare.
